Daniel Hughes Eliminated in 5th Place ($5,554)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 3,000 ante
Daniel Hughes - 5th Place
Daniel Hughes - 5th Place

Will Berry opened for 32,000 in the cutoff, and Daniel Hughes pushed all in on his left. The blinds mucked, and Berry counted down his stack and thought about a minute before calling off 385,000.

Berry: {7-Hearts}{7-Clubs}
Hughes: {k-Hearts}{j-Hearts}

Berry and Hughes were racing once more, and Berry again jumped out to a big lead with a set on the {7-Spades}{a-Hearts}{j-Diamonds} flop. The {10-Hearts} turn brought a mighty sweat though since Hughes picked up two draws, but the river was the {5-Spades}.

Left with just five big blinds, Hughes initially doubled up when he shipped {k-}{6-} and hit a king against {a-}{9-}, but the next hand he jammed again with {a-}{7-} and Lou Barlow woke up with two kings behind him.

Vinodkumar Paddolkar - 6th Place

Joey McCaig opened under the gun to 45,000, and Hasan Haq called in the small blind. Big blind Vinodkumar Paddolkar made it 110,000 to go, and McCaig dropped in his whole stack of blue T25,000 chips. Haq folded, and Paddolkar announced a call then moved to expose his hand. The dealer stopped him, as the raise was 445,000, and Paddolkar had about 70,000 back. On the {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds} flop, they put the rest in.

Paddolkar: {j-Hearts}{j-Diamonds}
McCaig: {k-Hearts}{k-Clubs}

Another monster for McCaig, and his hot run continued as the community came {4-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{8-Diamonds}{5-Clubs}{10-Diamonds}, no threat to the kings.

Chris Pearce Eliminated in 7th Place ($3,953)

Level 20 : 8,000/16,000, 3,000 ante
Chris Pearce - 7th Place
Chris Pearce - 7th Place

Chris Pearce got the last of his stack in from the button after Vinodkumar Paddolkar raised in the cutoff, but Pearce's {a-Clubs}{7-Hearts} was well behind Paddolkar's {j-Spades}{j-Diamonds}.

Pearce let out a sigh when {q-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{j-Clubs} hit the felt, giving Paddolkar a set. But the {3-Clubs} did bring some hope with a flush draw. The {6-Spades} river was not what he needed though, and Paddolkar took the pot.

McCaig dropped a single chip in and turned up two red aces. Nair held {10-Hearts}{10-Diamonds}, and a {2-Hearts}{8-Clubs}{k-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}{4-Spades} board later, he was done.

McCaig: {a-Spades}{k-Spades}
Blanken: {a-Hearts}{j-Clubs}

The {3-Spades}{7-Diamonds}{8-Hearts} flopped, giving Blanken little help. A {9-Clubs} brought an inside straight draw, but the {5-Spades} was a blank.

Action folded to Daniel Hughes, who moved all in from the small blind. Jonathan Gaviao immediately called off about 150,000 in the big.
